The countdown has begun for STALKER 2, which is among the highly anticipated games of the coming year. Developed by GSC Game World, the production wanted to enter an industry that has been gaining in popularity recently. The developers who planned the NFT faced harsh reactions from the fans.
Players criticized the studio’s moves quite fiercely. A step back may have been taken for the time being, regarding the project, which currently seems difficult and costly.
STALKER 2 makers give up NFT business
GSC Game World apologized to fans in a statement on Twitter. The studio, which shared a post to explain the system at first, gave up on this situation as the reactions did not stop. Considering rewarding NFTs purchased by players, the company would add collector investors to the game. But the backlash at the end of the day has, for now, taken a step back from GSC Game World.

In the statement, the studio stated that they gave up the steps taken regarding NFT, and that they value the players. The company’s statements included:
Dear Followers,
We hear you
Based on the feedback we received, we have made the decision to cancel everything related to NFT in STALKER 2. The interests of our fans and players come first. We’re releasing this game for you to enjoy, no matter the cost. If you care, we care too.
GSC Game World’s step back made the fans a little bit happy. The studio, which seriously wants to establish metaverse plans, is returning empty-handed for now. It is estimated that the company may want to make such a move again in the future.
STALKER 2, which has bypassed a growing sector for now, will be released on April 28, 2022. One of the most important developments regarding the game is the company’s agreement with Microsoft. Because STALKER 2 will be included in Xbox Game Pass from the first day of its release. Let’s see if the production that the players have been waiting for many years will meet the expectations. We’ll wait and see.
